accidents

After the accident and gas spill Tuesday afternoon, we researched other wrecks that have happened in Central New York. Combing the archives of FultonHistory.com, we came across several big stories from the 1960's-1970's.

An Army veteran headed from Nashville to Watertown, New York to play a memorial show for a fallen soldier was involved in a massive pileup on Interstate 81. Ian Wagner walked away unscathed, almost 9 years to the day he was injured by an IED in Iraq. He calls the crash 'alive day #2.'

In what's being called the worst accident in Metro-North's history, 6 people were killed when a train, full of commuters, struck a vehicle on the tracks. The crash occurred at 6:30pm Tuesday in Valhalla, shortly after leaving Grand Central station in New York City.

Kane Buss had dreams of being a police officer. He was set to graduate college in May and enroll in the police academy. Those dreams were cut short when he was tragically killed in a car crash. To honor his memory, the Oneida City Police Department made him an honorary officer.

Stopping to help someone who's been in an accident is a kind thing to do. However, this kind gesture took a horrible turn for one of two good Samaritans. Fortunately, no one was hurt and the bad guys got caught.

A courageous 9-year-old girl climbed out of the wreckage then walked for miles to try to find help after the car she and her father were in fell 200 feet down an embankment very early Sunday morning. She is currently recovering in a hospital outside Los Angeles. Her father did not survive the crash.
